I didn't see a thread for this program already so I decided to start one. Good luck to everyone else out there who is applying!

Any movement lately? It does look like they don't move as quickly as most of the US schools, based on previous years' posts.I got an email when they received all my materials but other than that it's been silent.

i got an interview invite here last week, was complete mid september
when is your interview scheduled for?
for those of you with II, stats?
I would like to know as well. Please let us know
does everyone that applies get interviewed? I don't think i've seen a single post with a pre-interview rejection (past years threads). Does anyone know?
MS1 here at Sackler. As someone who frequented the Sackler SDN forum throughout last year, happy to answer any questions.
For the interview, in addition to the typical medical school interview questions, I would just be prepared with specific reasons why you are willing/interested in being in Israel for medical school.Hey, thanks for reaching out. Can you give some interview advice? Also, any idea if they give everyone interviews? or what the ratio of interviees/accepted?
Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out! Can you let us know a bit about your experiences so far? What is the school like? How has the adjustment been?
That question might be better suited for someone in the NY Office.Does Sackler take grade replacement or does it do GPA the same way as the AMCAS?
Sounds like a valid candidate profile to me. Sackler definitely does not adhere to the typical rush for early applications like programs in the US. There are people in the class that applied even late winter/early spring. So anyone reading this and questioning whether or not to apply, you have more time to decide. Of course, those with earlier applications may hear back earlier and if competitiveness continues to increase, as it has for the past few years, submitting sooner may be beneficial.Thanks for your reply. Sorry if this is an inappropriate question for this forum but I couldn't find a class profile online and was wondering if I still had a shot at matriculating here in 2015 if I was in the process of applying now and had roughly a 3.5/3.6 gpa and 33 MCAT plus solid extracurricular experiences?
It seemed in previous years that a Sackler took students with MCAT scores below a 30 (29 perhaps). Is this still possible? Or is it likely much more competitive now?
Also, if you interviewed, what are the chances of acceptance?
Just interviewed here. The interviewer told me that they will start sending out acceptances in February
Does anyone have a sense of where they are in their interviews for this year? I've been hoping very much to hear from Sackler; complete in early September and no word since. I know they are on a different schedule from the US schools, so I'm still holding out a bit of hope!
II today!!You should call/email them, maybe your app is missing something and they didn't tell you.
just a ~45 min interview. nothing else really
I had to change mine slightly because the character limits are different. You have less for the sackler app. But, mine wasn't tailored to Sackler...I just had to cut some things outHey everyone! I learned about Sackler literally earlier today and just decided to apply. It seems like Sackler's application cycle goes later in the year than the stateside schools but hopefully I am not too late to be a realistic candidate! I was wondering if you all catered your personal statement to Sackler/Israel or used your same personal statement from the AMCAS?
Ahh okay I didn't notice yet that the character limit was different. Thanks!I had to change mine slightly because the character limits are different. You have less for the sackler app. But, mine wasn't tailored to Sackler...I just had to cut some things out
Yep, I interviewed in Chicago in December.Has anyone interviewed in Chicago?
